JPN Government names Pikachu & Hello Kitty official mascots of Japan

I thought Japan was based but here they are becoming furries... wtf. omg.

It’s funny because if Americans did this it would just be Pikachu & Mickey Mouse. So no matter the scenario, Nintendo has a 99.9999% probability of winning

Let's see the power of the federation's new mobile suit.

jackie chan

Pokemon & Hello Kitty are the worlds most popular franchises, so by default due to their popularity Japan named them their country mascots

You might be right, but I'd wager it'd be Mario over Pikachu.

why not Mario

Based.

>people watch american movies and play american games

>people watch anime and play jap games

why is japan so good at making propaganda

Pokemon is more popular in America than it is in any other country

he is italian and japs hate em

Pokemon has made nearly 100 billion
Hello Kitty has made around 80 billion
Mario has only made 36 billion

I imagine it's because they have a cute character to them and they are "original" whereas Mario has Italian origins so that might conflict with picking an official mascot representing a country.

Pikachu is more iconic than Mario & so is Hello Kitty

Not popular enough, they didn’t even name her on their list of Olympic Ambassadors which are basically the most iconic characters that aren’t Named Hello Kitty or Pikachu

Am I going to die if I ask wtf that image is

They were chosen when Yo-Kai Watch was outperforming even Pokémon in Japan, also as if they'd choose Madoka, Dragon Quest or Touhou to represent them for the Olympics, they wanted characters that were recognisable world wide.

So did the pikachu grabbed the thing that hes giving him?

My cock.

What do you mean?

why they like mascots that much?
they have mascots for everything

Japanese government is so stupid. Instead of acknowledging the huge breadth of real culture that Japan has, no, they acknowledge le stupid cartoon character
Imagine if US announced Mickey Mouse as the mascot of America. Everyone would laugh

Just because it doesn't have an anime series with millions of fans doesn't mean they're not making money solely on merchandise

Japan still has a quasi-fascination with it's fascistic past. It mostly manifests in the fact that they REALLY wish they could still have the Zaibatsu. So they just treat a bunch of companies like they still were Zaibatsu. It's kinda fascinating.

Dude, this is it. Some dude playing an old flute and wearing robes may be more traditional or whatever, but what Japanese actually do is dominated by anime/manga/LNs/idols/vidya and I'm glad they are honest about this instead of pretending their traditions, many of which are things ripped of from other countries in the first place, are more relevant or of inherently worth more to present other nations because of how 'respectable' they are perceived to be.

What 'real culture' did you have in mind?

>japan leader

based nips

It's still weird as fuck though. Like, you'd naturally expect that Pokemon and Star Wars would be at the top, and for Hello Kitty to be decently big, but for it to be almost as profitable as the former is super surprising. Where is her merch more bought?

Police only learned about the whole thing because the girlfriend of one of the abductors (she was like 14 years I think?), thought the girl was haunting her.

Eh. Most of them are foreigners or most known overseas.

Nope.

We're not cool, we're just proposed as cool because of English being "our" language. If we're talking about literary, most our myths are dogshit and only get fleshed out by the French.

wtf i always thought hello kitty was korean for some reason

Hello Kitty?
The only time I've ever seen anything realting to Hello Kitty was my sister's pencil case. This was back in '92. Pikachu was robbed, I tell you.

The Osaka officials actually paid TPCi and Sanrio for a partnership deal since Kumamon and Funayssi are so influential that Funabashi has overshadowed Osaka for tourism. Mascot industry is worth a shit ton

It's still not going to help them have children. Better put out more propaganda, Abe.

No way America would ever pick Pikachu for something like that.
It'd probably be something like Superman. Even fucking Homer from the Simpsons would have a better shot than a Pokémon.

> No way Americans would pick the most popular franchise of all time, they would pick literal who’s & irrelevant boomer trash instead

Americans are obsessed with Nintendo, you are delusional if you think Pikachu & Mario wouldn’t be on there with Mickey Mouse

Nah, Pikachu is not American, he can't represent America. Mickey Mouse is the only obvious choice, but he's too ubiquitous around the world, Disney wouldn't want him to represent a single country.
Maybe Bugs Bunny?

yeah, I think it'll be Superman and/or Captain America

Bugs Bunny is irrelevant now, It would be Alice & Mickey Mouse

Both literal who’s, Star Wars is dead so that only leaves Mickey Mouse & Disney Princess’s as the most profitable American franchises.

I believe you mean BONER fuel.

>Bugs Bunny is irrelevant now

Nintendo owns a third of Pokemon and who knows what amount of GF and Pokemon Company.

Despite of this, Nintendo does not develop Pkmn, GF does.

Hello Kitty makes more sense but Cinnamoroll would have made a better pick for that picture given the full mascot suit, plus Cinnamon has been leading the Sanrio sales for 3+ years now.

It's all in preparation for the Olympics - they're picking characters they know will be super popular to the tourists.

Godzilla was registered as an official citizen of Japan a couple of years ago so he got that at least.

Do you think Godzilla pays taxes?

Im ambivalent about Nintendo as they do things I like and do things I do not like but Pokemon is one of the most soulless game series out there.
The exact same brain dead turn base over and over again.

Still better than your favorite series lmao

Why does movie make so much money?
How?

Its a kid's movie.

>Pokemon
The macdonalds of video game franchise

>If Sw/Sw is shovelware tier it's not Nintendo's fault
>If Pokemon gets praised by Japan's government is because based Nintendo
Nintentards have brain damage.

A lot bags, dolls and toys using hello kitty as cute kitty, same for pokemon a lot toys or clothes.

>Jibanyan over Lupin III or Doraemon
Wat

I appreciate you. Go back to your containment thread.

Bell.........

Even if by a short while, Yokai Watch managing to almost surpass Pokemon does make it a big deal.

Was there really anybody saying the quality of SwSw wasn’t Nintendo’s fault because of course it is, it’s partially the Big N’s fault for not exhibiting more quality control over a franchise they own. The reason (the only one I could come up with anyways) to why Nintendo doesn’t bring the quality control hammer down like the did for Prime 4 is that Pokemon is too big to fail anyways so they let Gamefreak be as belligerently lazy as they want.

It was fucking huge back in the day and both the manga and anime sold like hotcakes, to say nothing of the action figures. Also it had a very long run to build up that many sales.

Doraemon and Mario were part of the opening ceremony so they are probably part of it in a more special way. Doraemon was named some official title a few months ago, I forget what it was though.

Lupin is not a very family friendly image to put on display
plus he isn't even japanese

Godzilla's also a tourism ambassador for the Shinjuku district.

She's the mascot of my heart

>Was there really anybody saying the quality of SwSw wasn’t Nintendo’s fault
Yes. People are still saying it.
The whole argument is that Nintendo doesn't have control over what GF or Creatures Inc. do, so they are not to blame for the turd.

Wrong
it's actually all from fucking pachinko sales
just under 18 billion out of it's 22 billion is from pachinko

>all these people saying 'this character isn't even japanese...'
Mario is Italian you fucks

and its still better than your favorite series.

Holy shit, seriously?

So a bunch of older or longer-running series and then the new girls from the then-latest installment of PreCure who'll get replaced next season and will already be forgotten by 2020? Not like, Cure White and Cure Black?

Would be the best model if not for the pokemon on the back

>Nuh Uh Police Officers, don't shoot that obvious potential threat to society because he black MM HMM

>let him assault that victim till hes near brain damaged or dead and no not all lives matter, remove that statue

How is hello kitty even possible
the franchise basis consists of nothing more than a very simplified drawing of cat with no mouth

is this drawing a hypnotic code or something

So is Black Panther

Look up the franchise. They constantly put out shows, merchandise, and common household products with the brand associated to it. Hello Kitty is the Mickey Mouse of the rest of the developed world such as Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Asia. You're too enclosed in your own bubble to notice it's existence.

Oh, and to make it related; video games as well. Most of them are jap only though

Doesn't twitter compress the images no matter what? Twitter's such a shitty interface, I don't know why it's still so popular.

100% MIckey Mouse and Super Man. No contest, no one else stands a chance

he's not wrong it's a fucking phenomena people are so hooked on to something so fucking basic and simple. must actually be a meme in the literal sense. plenty of cuter shit than hello fucking kitty

Hello Kitty > Mickey. Sanrio made a cat mascot specifically to one-up the mouse and boy were they successful (sill are)

>Nofunallowed.png

Good.

I hope this forces them to create a pokemon series where Satoshi is allowed to be the seasoned pro and win a fucking tournament because he knows more about pokemon.
Where he mentors another kid and gives him his old hat from the first season to him.

Satoshi doing the same shit over and overagain is comfortable and keeps things going.

>Mario
>Making an italian the mascot of Japan

>because he knows more about pokemon
Even in the newer seasons he's still a fucking retard who relies on overpowered pokemon to win.

The power of iconography user.
Ask yourself why hello kitty is so popular and so influential then look at the christian cross.
Shit.
What do you think you're looking at right now.
Simple squiggles in defined shapes.
This isn't normal for animal life.
There is no difference between words and a simple or complex shape that is drawn and created in a certain way and given importance too.

As a matter of fact games are nothing more then a bunch of simple icons all taped together.

>Because americans and their rulers don't know how to have fun
the fuck? because we dont have shit like this? you do know how big mickey mouse and disneyland is right? dont have to give fucking inane awards for that, American cartoon icons are so well done and set in stone it's unneeded. No japanese shit will ever top American classics. If japs wore shit like this in 1937 in their country they'd get fucking beheaded

I know that's how they need to sell the series.
But goddamn, let the kid show that he's a seasoned pro who knows what he's doing.
That slamming hyour head against the wall lets you gain something and not just the strength of repetition. But the experience to understand how to apply what they learned over a lifetime.

Even children respect other children with more knowledge and constantly making him a fucking retard is grating as fuck.

He should be the seasoned pro who knows more about pokemon then the kid he's helping and even the designated end boss kid he has to be beateen by.
Let him win by using older pokemon along side his new pokemon and knowing more about how his and their pokemon works.

What are the chances of Miku performing in the Olympics opening ceremony?

lol look at this shit response changing the conversation. christ you're pathetic.

Why would they pick anything else? Hello Kitty and Pokemon are the biggest franchises in Japan.

Are Japanese Sports Mascots just furries?

user, Mickey Mouse is not that important anymore.
As a matter of fact, we may be seeing the death of Disney. Within our lifetimes.

Nintendo doesn't win until they can actually get their mascots in Japan's currency.

>changing the conversation
when's the last time america's done anything fun that isn't just their president shitposting on twitter?

Japan makes feel good and self insert power fantasy media
America makes nothing but mean spirited shit to make you hate yourself and others

I know Disney as a company has been doing annoying shit but they've been doing these big buisness deals since the 80s. Disney, the one you and I know and all of it's creativity is always gonna be there and stay there. I think they're putting all of their golden age cartoons in along with Disney+ so that's sure as hell making a comeback.

For a while, people traded in pokemon cards rather then currency.

Peole sell thier bodies for rare virtual trinkets in nintendo games for fucks sake.

I disagree man. Anyone who knows what Disney is knows the existence of it's good shit. I like to use Disneyland as an example because those parks have an incredible amount of effort put into and a bunch of history trickled inside it. It's the reason everyone and anyone goes there because it still has that classic charm to it. Don't care about star wars though, and I'm willing to bet it's not synonymous with Disney's actual fanbase

The men are, the women go full dyke and try gto pretend that they're pure and it's good enough to take the sexual edge off and plaing pretend is just as good as aman.

That and their society actively goes otu of it's way to lower their own population and normalizes the idea of having a family and children as being bad because nebulous environmental bullshit.
